Clarksville is working on turning its wastewater into biodegradable pellets while also expanding the city’s water storage. The city is progressing on a nearly $300 million project that would add a 36-million gallon water treatment plant and thermal drying technology to the area. The dryers would turn Clarksville’s wastewater into something useful — and much less smelly. The city hopes to sell the pellets to local farmers for use on their land.
Tennessee’s Department of Treasury returned around $63 million to Tennesseans, many of whom didn’t know they were owed it, after 78,000 claims through the state’s unclaimed property program this past fiscal year. The money is turned over to the state by businesses, organizations, and other groups that cannot find the rightful owner. They have a certain amount of time to locate whoever the property belongs to before they hand it over to the state to be returned through the unclaimed property program. To see if you have money coming go to ClaimItTN.gov.
